Question 5054
The speed limits established for a road are set based on...
- economic criteria, primarily.
- its layout and the volume of traffic it is expected to carry, among other factors.
- its layout and the number of curves, only.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: its layout and the volume of traffic it is expected to carry, among other factors.
When a road is planned, its layout is designed around the traffic it will carry, how many heavy vehicles will use it, and its capacity. These determine its speed, so the limit depends on the layout and traffic volume, among other things. The number of curves is part of the layout, but there are other factors too.
